Everyone, There has been a small stir created because of some undesirable formatting that has made into our discussion group. Ira manually edited every persfin message. I decided at the onset that I would not manually edit messages. I've successfully run another list (canslim stock investments) for several years now without manual editing -- to do so would be a near full-time job Instead, I have implemented some new automatic filters designed specifically to catch messages with: * HTML version emails * Binary files * Excessive quotes of previous persfin messages These new filters identify certain messages (specific patterns, or messages that exceed a specific size) and send them to me for approval. I've already tested these filters and they seem to work well. I expect this will make an immediate difference in reducing the number of badly formatted messages. Over the next few days and weeks, I'll fine-tune the filters as required. Best Regards, Jeff - persfin admin - -
